History


The Medal was founded to reward and recognize Italian cities who rendered exceptionally patriotic service during the Risorgimento National/Italian unification.

There are two main versions of the Medal.

The medals conferred during the reign of Umberto I, from 1898-1906, feature his portrait on the obverse medallion and the inscription "UMBERTO I RE D'ITALIA."

The medals conferred during the reign of Victor Emmanuel III, from 1906-1945, feature his portrait on the obverse and the inscription "VITTORIO EMANUELE RE D'ITALIA."

This Medal was discontinued in 1942
